Tried to play last night. First, my mate could play, but I couldn't. Then he left the game, and after multiple tries, I managed to connect. So I told him I could play, then, believe it or not, he tried and couldn't get on. Now tonight, neither of us can. Brilliant.

Both of us are in the UK, by the way.

Yep, everything is utter cunted.

I expect 0% server troubles for BF3 otherwise I will cut my balls off and individually hand-teabag every one of the staff at EA.

I will try this again....it didnt work yesterday. Who is you ISP (internet service provider) I have AT&T U-Verse

Turns out that wasn't really much of a fix, probably more of a coincidence I usually play at my buddy's place, which is "Windstream" (a local thing, branch-off of Comcast) and when I play at home it's Comcast. Either way, same problem.

Hahaha... at this rate, we won't get to play the beta when it comes out because no one will be able to connect

The first one. It's not a full proof way though. It only worked once for me then went back to not working. Others continue to do it and it continues to work for a little bit. Also try resarting your modem and that can help.
Really killing my buzz this is. Fucking so keen for BF3 and i cant even play the latest game! tcfgjvbhjnkml;

Thanks for the info. My buddy got it to work last night with the change the date trick. Hopefully it will keep working.

EA needs to get it together. Was reading the BF forums and there is quite a few players with this problem and EA isn't saying much about this issue. Hopefully you be able to connect to EA soon. I know I would be pissed if I couldn't get my BFBC fix.

Uggh, add me to the list of problems. Thankfully k only started having lag problems last night and only just am not connecting...boooooo. However a friend of mine said that if u play while nobody else is on your network it usually works.however not for me.

I havent even bothered trying for the last week an a half, thought it gave me a perfect reason to just chill out and explode some heads in Fallout: New Vegas. It really is infruitating me though, especially when i watch one of the many AMAZING montages by QuanticMedia. (Youtube them.... unbelievable, not advertising i dont have in relation to them)

My friends and I seem to be able to connect pretty consistently, but never more than one Xbox per internet connection. In other words, I can't go to my buddy's house and play with him on a separate TV because it will only allow one of us to connect.

I got on last night for the first time in 2 weeks. It felt so fucking good to play it, i was a wee bit rusty though cause i had been playing CoD/Fallout in the time being, characters move so much differently. I jumped on the opportunity and played for about 2.5hrs before i started getting in some horrible matches (2 were empty and the others were 93% snipers) so i took it as a sign to stop.

Ok so this is getting even more pathetic by the day. My dad who is an avid gamer also and plays his games downstairs literally 20ft away from my xbox console, can log in no problem. To all ea stuff! Seriously beyond a joke now

Oh and just unplugged my 360 took it down n tried it and logged in no problem. Brought it back up and tried again and nothing. There literally no difference in how our consoles are set up whatever.

What is the deal here....Does EA not even give a damn. I was finally able to connect to the servers on BC2 and Battlefield 1943 earlier today, and now nothing. I'm finally able to get my game on for a change and can't because of EA.

Are they planning on fixing this issue or is there something to try on our end?

I doubt EA give two fucks about this game anymore, they are too busy laughing in anticipation at there BF3 moneys.

When this happens to me I had to restart my router, here is what I recommend:
(EDIT: Try Bf:BC2 and see if its working before moving onto the next step, if any work post which so it may help others, if none work do the same.)

1) Restart console,
2) Try another game by EA, 1943 etc,
3) Clear cache,
4) Turn off your router for 30 seconds,
5) Restart your router by (some may differ) placing a pen nib/pin into the slot at the back of the router,
6) Try another profile, I'm almost certain silvers can at least check the in game store which requires EA online but I could be wrong.

If all else fails try phoning MS but I've no doubt that will just infuriate you more. All the above has worked for me in the past, I just hope it works for you! If I had a magic fix I would tell you, hope to see you on the battlefield.
